Cannabis, e United States, residing at t" oi Hillsboro and State ment/ed certain new and in Carbnreter Attach i do hereby declare the followbe a full, clear, and exact description invention, such as Will enable others io skilled in the art to which it appertains to make and use the saine.

yThe present invention relates to improvements i'n carb-meter attachments, and has tor an object to 'orovide an improved device adopted .ier placement in the intake pipe of wnal combustion or other engines, and ting to subject the combined fuel and issuing; from the carhureter to agitataction inv order to promote a more homore. another 'hject oi' present inprov character wi' se proximity to not interfere with the the accompanying lar are mdr nee numerals through- 'traginentary elevational with the engine intake d having the i1nit shown attached thereto, on and partly in section; A perspective view of the iniodirnent oi" he present `on i" i` d, designates a carc er which he of suitable approved type, ant; :5 and designate adjacent ns pipe of an internal i bane. ction i) oi" intake pipe is lohrettle valve l which is onsetnated from any of the tf employed for this purpose. a-.d of the intake pipe are circular or other flanges 5 and hetween which is clamped a which are secured together by Specification of letters Patent.

ticularly seen in ig. 2 is built up of e frame comprising a cross har 9, bent at its opposite ends to provide flanges l0 and l1 for snugly embracing the interior of the pipe seetion 3, and the lower said flanges are reduced and bentffangularly into lugs 12 and 13, arrangedto be received between the flanges 5 and 6 of the pipe sections, and which are embedded in the soft material of the gasket 7 when the bolts 8 are tightened. As disclosed in Fig. 2, the bar 9 is preferably of the cohliguration illustrated, wherein the central portion is relatively thick and Where is mounted a spindle le eitending up Within the pipe section 3. @n the spindle 14 are journaled to rotate one or more fans including hubs l5 and 16 having vanes 17 and 18, the latter being preferably disposed reversely so as to he' rotated in opposite directions on encountering the current of the charge passing through the intake pipe on its Way to the engine, Y

The hubs l5 and 16 of the mixing fans are removably secured in place by a collar 19 secured to the spindle by a pin, screw, or other suitable means 20. The construction of the removable traine permits the improved attachment to be connected between the iianges of the pipe sections 2 and as now at present Constructed and in close proximity to the throttlevalve e, hat at the same time not interfering with the free operation thereof.

As the charge issues from the earbureter pest the throttle valve 4l, and through the intake pipe, the saine Will encounter the vanes l? and 18 of the mixing fans, which will he rotated in opposite directions dueto the reverse disposal of the saine, and will subject the charge to an agitatinf:f action which Will promote a, .more intimate and hoinogeneons mixture.

The device can be readily removed hy separating the pipe sections and 3 When the bar 9 can be grasped and moved axially of the section 3. Similarly, the device can I have illustrated and described preferred and satisfactory constructions, but obviously changes could be made in the combination and arrangement of parts without depart- 5 ing from the spirit of my invention.

Vi12. In a device of the character described, the combination with an intake pipe having flanged adjacent sections, of a single straight bar fitted diametrically across one pipe section and having its ends bent 'to provide flanges frictionally gripping the interior Walls of said section, the extremities of said bar beyond the langes being turned outwardly to constitute lugs engaging between the flanges of the pipe sections, a

spindle mounted on said bar, and a pair of lfans journaled on said-spindle, and having reversely-disposed Vanes for rotation in opposite direction under Ythe influence of the incoming charge7 In testimony whereof, I .aflix my signature.

substantially as described.
